Yeah, actually thought about that myself after I experienced a similar result from working on my son's Spyder Imagine. The free flowing non-venturi bolt actually aggravated the recock problem.
I have done considerable flow work from the ASA to the bolt, including matching the bolt input to the new valve output. This is probably not giving the striker any initial pressure pulse necessary to get it moving backward.
I haven't decided how I'm going to proceed with it yet, other than producing some modified valves to direct more of the available air to the striker and some spring juggling. I believe I have plenty of air flow through the valve to the bolt. What I don't have plenty of is time to mess around with it! :-* It still shoots well at the higher pressure.

thanks for the thought on it. I'm very open to ideas!
